High:
I am gladly inform you that Andrey's second idea has solved my locale
problem with respect to maxima.
See the following output:

[gyula@gauss ~]$ export LANG=en_US.iso88591
[gyula@gauss ~]$ maxima
i i i i i i i ooooo o ooooooo ooooo ooooo
I I I I I I I 8 8 8 8 8 o 8 8
I \ `+' / I 8 8 8 8 8 8
\ `-+-' / 8 8 8 ooooo 8oooo
`-__|__-' 8 8 8 8 8
| 8 o 8 8 o 8 8
------+------ ooooo 8oooooo ooo8ooo ooooo 8
